Hello! I am glad to introduce myself through this letter. My full name is Mario Alexander Hernandez Xorxe, and I fondly greet you in the name of Jesus. I am 16 years old and do my best at school as a fifth grader. I attend school on the morning shift. I usually work on my family’s corn and beans crops on weekends. We grow those legumes for our consumption. Fortunately, my whole family and I are in good health. I have attended the Full Gospel Christian Church alongside my family. My parents accepted Jesus as their Savior many years ago. My mom has the privilege of singing worship songs during the services at church. On weekdays, she keeps busy cleaning and raising our domestic animals. We have hens and pigs for occasional sales. 

As for my father, let me tell you that he makes a living by gathering people to work at the coast. I am glad for being part of LW-Adopt A Child because it has blessed me a lot. The food that I enjoy the most at the feeding program is fried chicken. As you know, the LW staff organizes a Christmas party annually. My favorite part of the activity is listening to the carols. I will leave you now, but I want you to know that my mom and I gave all this information to a teacher of the LW evangelism team so you could hear from me. If you want to know something else about my life, feel free to ask me. See you later! 

Cordiality yours,  

Mario Alexander Hernandez Xorxe
